I do have gravel and plants. I have furniture and wouldn't like to sit in an empty room, so I had to get some for the fish to be fair

You should be able to ride it out with water changes then as mentioned above, the gravel will have BB living it. If you've got some local fish keeping friends, try and swap an aged pad with a new one to help.

Ill try and ride it out with my substrate BB to colonize my filter. My only fish keeping buddy has piranha and I don't want filter pads with cheap feeder fish guts to cause more problems

When you say you swear by neutral regulator what do you swear it does? becuase in no shape or from does it do what it clams and puts your water at 7ph. I have done testing on up to 6x dosing and guess what my water wasn't. Prime on the other had is God gift to fish.
 
offtopic but i just noticed you're from RI.... RI aquarium is a great lfs. its in providence. worth checking out. plus, providence isnt further than 30 minutes from anywhere in the state
 
Ri aquarium is overrated in my eyes. IMO the best lfs in the state is in woonsocket ill try to post the name it escapes me at the moment

They are both said to remove chlorine and chloromine maybe its prime doing all the work but I've always used both, next wc ill only use prime and see if there's a difference in my levels

Oh you mean it removes the chlormine I am sure it does that, but thats a side benifit the main goal of this nutral regulator is to put the pH at 7, and it doesn't.
